The Georgia sweet potato has a fuel value of 558 calories per pound, as compared with 378 calories for the white-potato. Of the North. It is-slightly sweeter than the Northern sweet potato, containing 26 per cent, of starch and sugar, and therefore has a higher food value per pound. It is also more moist when cooked. Con sidered as a source of energy, the sweet potato is much more economical than meat. It is excellent food for every member of the family, young and old. On account of its food value and energy giving qualities . it is recommended for children especially. From a dietary standpoint it is a most wholesome food, and can be served with every meal. Below are some recipes, using sweet potatoes. More will be given later: Baked Sweet Potatoes.—This is prob ably the most wholesome way of cook ing sweet potatoes, since some sweetness is lost when they are steamed or boiled. Choose smooth, healthy potatoes; wash well and place‘in a pan in a moderate oven. Bake until soft. As soon as the potato is soft to the touch, the potatoes are done. Freid Sweet Potatoes.—Partially cook in boiling water with the peeling on. Cool, peel and nnd cut in slices and brown in butter or meat fryings.
